INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
We are now accepting applications for the Fall 2009 internship program.

We are no longer accepting applications for the Summer 2009 internship program.

The METROPOLITAN POLICY program offers part-time and full-time internship opportunities throughout the year, typically for the duration of a school semester. The intern's main responsibility is to provide research and some administrative assistance for the program's current projects. Interns will have the opportunity to participate in substantive and independent research in several diverse areas of urban policy, including but not limited to: market and demographic trends, metropolitan growth and development trends, planning and land use issues, transportation, economic development, neighborhood markets, and working family policies.

The position is mostly suited for junior and senior undergraduates majoring in economics, planning, political science, social sciences (particularly urban policy), and business. Computer skills preferred are ArcView GIS, Excel, SAS, and strong quantitative background. Anyone interested in urban issues is strongly encouraged to apply. Interns are expected to devote a minimum of 20 hours per week during the school year, but schedules are flexible. Only candidates selected for an interview will be contacted. All positions are unpaid.

Applications for the Fall 2009 program are due by 5:00pm on Friday, August 21, 2009.

To apply for an internship position, send a resume (including computer skills), cover letter, two letters of recommendation, and a short (3-5 pages) writing sample to:
